CTO as a Service is an on-demand, strategic tech leadership offering. It gives companies access to senior-level technology expertise, guiding product direction, architecture, team scaling, and delivery without needing to hire a full-time Chief Technology Officer.
A full-time CTO is a permanent, in-house executive. CTO as a Service provides the same leadership and accountability but on a flexible, fractional basis ideal for companies that need strategic direction without long-term overhead or hiring delays.
Absolutely. We integrate seamlessly with in-house teams providing leadership, refining processes, supporting decision-making, and unblocking delivery while respecting the culture and capabilities already in place.
Pricing depends on engagement scope and duration. We offer flexible models hourly, monthly retainers, or milestone-based to match your needs and budget. Reach out for a tailored quote.
We typically begin within 1–2 weeks, depending on your onboarding needs and project complexity. Urgent needs can often be addressed even sooner.
Our expertise spans SaaS, fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, and more. We work across modern stacks from cloud-native infrastructure and AI to web and mobile technologies with a focus on scalability and security.
An external CTO brings outside perspective, unbiased decision-making, and broad technical experience. You gain high-impact leadership with flexibility, reduced risk, and access to a wider talent network.
We collaborate as embedded leaders guiding technical strategy, mentoring engineers, and aligning stakeholders. Regular syncs, documented roadmaps, and clear handoffs ensure full integration without silos.
If you’re making key product or tech decisions, preparing for scale, building your first team, or need guidance through a launch or funding round CTO services offer clarity, speed, and structure at the right time.
Both offer flexible tech leadership. A fractional CTO is typically outcome-focused, working on strategy and delivery as needed across weeks or months. A part-time CTO may work fixed hours weekly. The key difference is structure: fractional is adaptive; part-time is scheduled.
